How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Kingsgate
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and staff Christmas parties, with gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In winter near Kingsgate, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Organising a club, school or community event in Kingsgate? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. It gets dark in Kingsgate by about 3:50pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Check the van can park on site
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Planning a Christmas party in Kingsgate
Kingsgate is about 2 miles north of Broadstairs, in Kent. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Kingsgate and nearby villages. Kingsgate is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 17 miles away.
If a church like St Philip is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Callis Grange Nursery and Infant School, suit a chip van. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
